Texans | QB Stroud could be in $50 million club? Wed Sep 2, 04:10 PM
Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, reports the Houston Texans are "prepared to put C.J. Stroud in what it feels is a strong place among the 12 quarterbacks in the $50 million club."
| Footballguys view: According to the report, Stroud is prepared to play out the season without a new contract. The Texans have made an offer they feel is competitive, but the two sides have yet to reach an agreement - with the regular season less than two weeks away. Stroud has had a good training camp, but last season's struggles are something he'll need to overcome this year. Texans GM Nick Caserio placed a deadline of Week 1 to get a new contract done. Stay tuned. |

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) has been placed on the reserve/injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, with a designation to return, according to a source. He'll miss a minimum of four games.
| Footballguys view: Dell missed all of 2025 after suffering multiple torn ligaments and a dislocated kneecap in the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. Throughout camp, Houston coach DeMeco Ryans explained how Dell's comeback still had steps to clear. Ryans was asked Aug. 17 whether Dell would be ready for the regular season, and the coach preached patience, saying Houston had a plan for its 2023 third-round pick. Houston will rely on wideouts Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, recently acquired Kayshon Boutte, and Jaylin Noel to fill the void. |

Houston Texans RB Noah Whittington was waived Sunday, Aug, 30, but will be signed to the practice squad if he clears waivers, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: With Jawhar Jordan cleared to practice from a hip injury, Whittington's path to a spot on the 53 got blocked. Jordan had a 100 yard game last year on only 15 carries and appears to be a good fit for the Texans running game. Whittington is a swiss army knife type of back who will be the next man up for the Texans, or maybe even added to another team's 53 man roster. |

Link to story Texans | C.J. Stroud looking to run more? Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud changed his diet and added muscle this offseason in order to improve his speed. 'I do feel fast,' Stroud said. 'You want to be explosive, but I also think it has to do with making sure you're able to take hits.'
| Footballguys view: Reports out of Houston indicate Stroud is continuing to develop a strong relationship with OC Nick Caley, and this offseason it seems like he's got more command of the offense. Eligible for a new contract, Stroud has been business-like in his offseason work and reps in training camp. While he may not have to fill the air with footballs (having an elite defense means they may not be too pass-happy), Stroud is a QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs ....more upside if he's running a bit more. |

Houston Texans DE Dylan Horton (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice Monday, Aug. 24, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Per multiple reports, Horton tore his Achilles during the team's workout. Horton has been with the Texans since being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. Horton missed the end of his rookie season and the start of the 2024 campaign while battling lymphoma. He has been in remission since March 2024. When healthy, Horton has appeared in 39 regular-season games for the Texans. He had 55 tackles, a half-sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in that action. He also has two tackles in four playoff games. |

Link to story Texans | Houston acquiring Kayshon Boutte Mon Aug 24, 02:37 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is being acquired by the Houston Texans in exchange for S Jaylen Reed and an undisclosed draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Texans, who needed a replacement for the injured Jayden Higgins, found an ideal option. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Boutte was the odd man out of the Patriots' revamped receiving corps. A sixth-round pick in 2023, Boutte caught 33 passes for 551 yards with six touchdowns in 14 regular-season games last year. He also had nine catches for 168 yards with a touchdown in four postseason contests. Viewing him in the same range as Higgins -- or another player joining a new team, Stefon Diggs in Washington -- is a starting point for fantasy investors. |

Free-agent WR Sterling Shepard (Buccaneers) and WR Zay Jones (Cardinals) agreed to terms with the Houston Texans Friday, Aug. 21, according to a source. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Jayden Higgins (knee) out for the year, the Texans needed to add more depth to the wide receiver room. With the Cardinals, Jones caught 12 passes for 183 yards before rupturing an Achilles tendon in Week 10 against Seattle last year. Shepard played in 13 games for the Buccaneers last year and caught 39 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown. While they give the Texans veteran depth, Fantasy GMs have much better options as late-round fliers in deep leagues. |

Texans | Woody Marks scores Thursday Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks rushed four times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Marks was excellent and looked like a back deserving of more work than a typical #2 back and the Texans run game pushed the Raiders around. That's good for Marks, Montgomery, and De'Von Achane and Malik Willis, who face the Raiders along with their Dolphin teammates in Week 1. Montgomery was rested as an entrenched starter would be, so don't worry about this performance lowering his value. |

Texans | Houston considering Kayshon Boutte? Fri Aug 21, 04:16 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is believed to be a possible trade target for the Houston Texans, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: While this would be good for Boutte's playing time compared to New England, where he appears to be at the bottom of the depth chart even though he has been stacking good practices all summer, it still wouldn't be a plum fantasy spot in the run first Texans offense. Rashod Bateman was also mentioned as a possible trade target. The problem with both ideas is that Baltimore and New England see Houston as a rival for a Super Bowl berth, so they may not be keen on helping them adjust after losing a expected key contributor. |
